My mom has issues sliding out of her chair. There was a product someone recommended for anti-sliding. Can you please reach out with suggestions?

What sort of a chair is she sliding out of?

It’s an upholstered chair with a seat cushion . I purchased a product on Amazon . I put a sheet under the cushion and one on top of the cusion . This way if she falls asleep on it watching tv, she doesn’t slide off . It’s worth a try !

I had suggested a car cushion that it a wedge. Put the thinner side to the back of the chair.

Several have been mentioned
The rubbery shelf liner should do a good job helping to prevent sliding.
There are also gel pieces that are designed for this. They sorta feel like the "sticky" lint rollers that can be rinsed off.
If the wheel chair has a tilt back that might be another way to prevent sliding. As the back is tilted back it becomes more difficult to slide out.
If there are cushions on the chair alternate them if possible the cushion gets compressed on one side so sliding is more apt to happen.
